You know, I LOVED this album when it first came out. I owned it even before the campus radio station had a copy, and I loaned it out to a few other DJ's that heard it on my show. Then it started to break BIG and the Peppers all of a sudden were everywhere. And they started to cover songs that they had no business covering, trying to recapture "Mothers Milk", I think. Then John Frusciante left for the first time, and I haven't been able to listen to them since.
I still like this album, but I look at it as the last thing that the band that had such a great sense of humor and took nothing seriously did. Everything that followed, with only a couple of exceptions, just paled in comparison to the stuff in the 80's and the very early 90's.
